How ScamCheck Works
A scam is when a stranger tries to trick you. This app reads messages and tells you if they look safe.
Three ways to check a message
✍️ Type or paste it
Copy a text or DM. Paste it into the box. Tap check.
📷 Take a picture
Snap the screen of the message. We'll read it for you.
🎤 Say it out loud
Tap the mic. Read the message out loud. We'll write it down.
What the colors mean
🟢 Green = Safe
Looks okay. You can relax.
🟡 Yellow = Be careful
Something feels off. Stop and ask a person you trust.
🔴 Red = Danger
Don't click. Don't reply. Don't send money. Tell someone you trust right away.
Golden rules
- Never share your password. Not with anyone.
- Never send gift cards to a stranger.
- Don't tap links from people you don't know.
- When you're not sure, ask someone you trust.
Your privacy
We never keep your photos, and we never store anything for visitors who aren't signed in. If you're signed in, your results and a short part of the message are saved to your own account so you can look back at them.
